The TRABEC RACE MIPS helmet is especially designed to fully cover the head and thus to better protect it in case of a lateral impact. The integrated MIPS system helps to reduce the rotational forces acting on the brain in case of an impact. Moreover, this helmet offers best ventilation thanks to 16 vents.

INMOULD:
The inner shell of the helmet is formed by means of foam applied under high pressure and great heat beneath the outer shell. This firm bond creates an extremely stable and very light helmet structure.

ARAMID BRIDGES:
The inner shell is equipped with special aramid reinforcements, which makes the helmet especially stable and lightweight. The extremely stable reinforcements evenly distribute the impact energy over the entire helmet in case of a fall and thus effectively absorb the shocks.

FIDLOCK:
The integrated, strong magnets not only allow for an easy closing of the helmet but also offer a robust closure system with high closing force.

POLYGIENE:
An antibacterial treatment of the pads that extends the life of the helmet while reducing odour formation.

WHAT IS MIPS?
MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) is a slip-plane system within the helmet designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head possibly reducing head injury from rotational impacts.
WHY IS MIPS IMPORTANT?
When a head rotates quickly and comes to a sudden stop, the rotational acceleration can cause the brain tissue to experience high levels of strain. This stretching of the tissue that can be caused by these motions can result in various types of brain injury. MIPS is designed with the intent to address rotational acceleration from impact.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system. This layer is designed to rotate inside the helmet with the intent to potentially slow or reduce the amount of energy transferred to or from the head. Science tells us that if we can reduce the strains associated with rotational acceleration, we might reduce the risk and severity of brain injury.
